i was running up a crosswalk ramp, tripped on an uneven bit of pavement, and faceplanted into a rock https://twitter.com/eleanorkpenny/status/1029644920485765120

#portlandburgerweek S06E05, “Pulled Pork Torta”. probably my second favorite episode so far, behind Bar Maven. use the mustard sauce!
#portlandburgerweek S06E05, “Pulled Pork Torta”. probably my second favorite episode so far, behind Bar Maven. they started skimping on chicharron but that’s ok, i don’t think it was necessary. tastes like an elevated backyard cookout burger. i recommend adding the mustard sauce
I checked in at EastBurn / Portland / OR
#portlandburgerstop 4… meh
#portlandburgerweek stop 4: EastBurn’s “Big Mike” (a take on the Big Mac). it’s better than a Big Mac but not as good as a Trick Dog. this would have been a good 3.5/5, but the fried pickles tasted more like a fryer than like pickles 😬 so, 3/5. skippable IMO
the irrational-but-probably-correct part of my brain worries that if i don’t really quickly scroll by the tweets from people i don’t follow, twitter will think i am reading and enjoy that content and show me even more “Liked By” tweets and shit
I checked in at Heart Coffee Roasters / Portland / OR
i’ve been doing #portlandburgerweek and i don’t know what should scare me more: the fact that i’m about to have had four burgers in the last two days, or the fact that my body feels no different than normal
#portlandburgerweek stop 3. corn relish was pretty good but i think they got a little lazy in assembling it by the time they got to mine. also, you’re not toasting the bun?? this one was hype for me but ended up only being ok. skippable
I checked in at Burnside Brewing Co. / Portland / OR
#portlandburgerweek stop 3… i hate the name, but it’s called the cornholio
weather apps like @DarkSkyApp and @CARROT_app are gonna have to add smoke as a forecast/condition because y’all… this isn’t “clear”
#portlandburgerweek stop number two… was really good. nicely seasoned beef, the marionberry aioli made a great sweet/savory combo, and the kale slaw added just the right amount of crunch
I checked in at Bar Maven / Portland / OR
#portlandburgerweek stop 2… dat marionberry aioli
i can no longer hear Simon & Garfunkel’s “The 59th Street Bridge Song” or the Bellamy Brothers’ “Let Your Love Flow” without thinking about The Leftovers
I checked in at Sunny's Diner / Portland / OR
#portlandburgerweek stop number one! the pimento cheese burger
yo why even play hold music if you’re gonna come in literally every 20 seconds with “ALL OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE STILL ASSISTING OTHER CALLERS”
